Thanks to Kate Hill for welcoming me back to her blog!
When I was here last, I wrote about Walker Northrup in Getting It Right, and my idea of sexy in a Romance Hero. At the time I thought G. I. R. would be released in September of 2014.
It wasn’t.
And I thought I would shrivel up and die waiting.
Getting it Right finally came out on Amazon et al on January 18 2015.
Emma June Lucy Northrup hasn’t missed Walker in the ten years he’s been out of her life. Scrambling to make the mortgage payment, putting food in front of her children, saving the planet from paper waste, and feeding the occasional stray animal, Emma doesn’t have time to miss a man in her life.
Walker Northrup found missions with Special Ops to be more peaceful than life with Emma June. Placed on Leave, with direct orders to clean up his personal life, Walker heads back to Wyoming.
Like any good hero, he arrives at the perfect moment:
EXCERPT:
Sheriff Dawson’s SUV made the turn through the gates and pulled onto the grass. Emma shut her truck off and opened the door, planning to get out and deal. But then all her steam left. Why not just sit there? Sit there and see what happened next.
Davis discovered the frightened man, balancing as best he could on the rail of Emma’s porch, clutched a Notice of Foreclosure. Bruce, interested, got down from his perch on the truck’s roof. Georgia said, “Oh for Pete’s sake, Emma June.” The twins started to cry.
The deputy turned to Dawson, shrugged, and headed for his van. The groomer marched to Emma’s truck and thrust the Burmese’s leash into her hand.
A throaty rumble of engine made them all pause. A latecomer was joining the fracas.
The largest motorcycle Emma June had ever seen pulled into her yard.
Her heart split into pieces. Several lodged in her throat. Others headed for her brain to form an aneurysm.
A grin was transforming the sheriff’s face. A grin, which told her everything she needed to know, everything she had feared in that fraction of time when her heart split between giddy joy and dread.
Her husband was home.

Getting It Right is a love story. A Second Chance story. But don’t let the cover fool you: This story reflects the author’s comfort with less than polite language, as well as enjoyment of sex and the heavy hand of the alpha male. Said Marie Brown, of Marie’s Tempting Reads …. “When they (Emma and Walker) get back together, you can feel the sexual tension and sparks fly and the passion is strong. The sex is incredibly heated which had me both shivering in delight and sighing…..”

You have me very curious as to how your name is pronounced… Love the cover! Your book sounds interesting… thanks for sharing a piece of it! Congrats on its release! 😀
Thanks, Colleen!
The name is an old Gaelic one, pronounced (to the best of my ability)
SEER- sha. The ‘a’ like in awesome. I flunked phoenics, so I don’t know if that’s a long or a short “a” ! I’m sure at least one Irish person will write to tell me how it should be said-and that’s ok. Love to learn. My understanding is it roughly translates into “free” and “Roghan” into “Choice”. Thanks for commenting. Getting It Right is about love, family, maturity, trust, strong women doing it all…and the men who love them for it but would like to HELP-NOT reduce their strength–things most of us can relate to.
Saoirse, yep, that is my cover! I can’t take credit for it — my publisher provided the cover. The fun part is the hero looks like my son!
